![Confession Time with Katie:
Playing Mario Kart has made me a worse driver. As I drove to lunch with a friend, I wished for a flashing star so I could be invincible and drive through everything.
Also, we're eating bagels for lunch because throwing rules out windows is my new favorite hobby.
Speaking of hobbies, I started a Constellate Hat in the colorway, African Violets by LolaBean Yarn. The first Constellate took me nineteen months so surely i can beat that!
LOL. @marz1pan thought I was knitting a sock for someone with HUGE calves!
In writing news, I plan to send a short story before mid-December so join my Inner Circle Email List if you need a dopamine hit right about now.
I hope you have the Monday you need, Crew! I love you!!!!

When it comes to Hunter Hammersen’s patterns, I tend to be a bit of a fangirl. I haven’t made a Team Hunter T-shirt yet, but don’t think I haven’t considered it.
I’ve been admiring these grayish socks on her blog for months….to the degree that I contacted her to see when the pattern might be out (I may have a problem). There was a moment when she thought I was peaking in her windows to see what she was knitting, but it turns out these lace socks are just more light blue than gray in real life. Nevertheless, I’m sure there are days when she’s comforted by the fact that I live in Texas.
Fast forward. She called for testers and check out what’s on my needles!

As long as you don’t have any Kathy Bates, Misery moments, we’re in good shape. :-D
The socks look like they’re going to be beautiful!
I’m pretty pleased with them, thank you.
I don’t have near the presence of Kathy Bates. That movie scares me enough that I’ve never seen the whole thing.
woohoo! those socks are amazing. love the yarn you are using.
MadTosh yarn is addictive. You’ve been warned.
see, and on my monitor they originally looked green.
glad to know they’re being test-knit, and looking forward to seeing yours!
I’m already thinking about a second pair in light gray…. :)
I don’t know Hunter Hammersen. I will go and check out her work, because these socks are really nice!!
Thanks for sharing!
Do check her books out. Her patterns are divine.
Very pretty!
gracias!
I’m a FanGirl too! I’ve queued up Ensnared and matched up the yarn. I’m hoping to cast on next week. Your socks are gorgeous, and the yarn colour is to die for!
ohhhh. Can’t wait to see your Ensnareds!
That sock is gorgeous! Sometimes being a stalker, er, fangirl has it’s benefits:)
Thank you! I can’t wait to wear them.
WOW!! Gorgeous and so impressive! I am loving your site!
Thanks so much.
